Legal Question in Discrimination Law in Illinois
Currently employed at my company for almost 7 yrs. I recently informed them I was having a baby and since I've done so I've been pulled in informal disciplinary meetings. Since May 4 and until recent. I am currently 5 months pregnant and have been stressed for past two days. What are my rights as I feel as though the company is setting me up to fire me.

It is illegal to discriminate against an employee because she is pregnant. Have you been disciplined before you told them you were pregnant?
